About Private Limited Company Registration

A Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is the standard vehicle for venture-backed and growth-oriented Indian companies. It allows shares to be held privately while offering its founders a limited-liability shield and the credibility expected by investors, banks, and large customers.

Pvt Ltd companies are governed by the Companies Act, 2013 and managed by a board of directors. Shareholders’ liability is capped at the value of their shares, and the company itself is a separate legal entity that can own property, sign contracts, and be sued in its own name.

Key Features

  • Limited Liability — Shareholders’ personal assets are protected. Risk is capped at share value.
  • Separate Legal Entity — The company can own property, sign contracts, and be sued in its own name.
  • Private Capital Access — Raise from VCs, angels, and PE without the disclosure burdens of a public company.
  • 2–200 Members — Minimum 2 shareholders, maximum 200 (employees not counted).
